At the moment of receiving the dispatch of the eucalyptus, Fujiwara Yu followed his boss Goro Otaki to the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, and did not choose to accept Officer Otaki's kindness, but directly stepped on his motorcycle and put on his helmet honestly, following behind a dark gray Nissan Blue Bird.

It took a total of 35 minutes to reach the scene from the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and this was the result of a green light.

Before arriving at the 45th detached residential building at 1-chome 1-18 Banji in Shibataya-cho, I noticed two men and women looking inside outside the yellow cordon, and it was clear from their looks that these two people were not family members of the victims, but more like gossipy neighbors.

Otaki Goro, who got out of the main driver's seat, looked at Takaji Sosuke half-jokingly, and there was still some regret in his tone: "It seems that there is no way to hold a welcome party for you tonight, and it is a question of whether you can solve the problem, Takaji, you have to be prepared to work overtime." Fujiwara Yu showed a confident smile when he heard this, if he investigated the case well, he would still have time to have a dinner.

He took off his motorcycle helmet and walked towards the eucalyptus scene, but before he could go in, he was directly dragged by the elbow of the uncle in the red plaid shirt who was watching the excitement, and it didn't feel good to be close to a stranger, and before he could make a sound, he heard the latter directly ask: "Hey! How can you enter the scene of the eucalyptus, you really don't know the rules, this is the place where the police do it. Fujiwara didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he directly took out his police ID and slapped it in his face, and stuffed the police ID back into place while disinfecting the touched area with alcohol disinfectant spray.

He didn't rush through the door, but walked around the house quickly before returning to the entrance and entering the scene with shoe covers on.

The uncle in the red plaid shirt standing at the door was a little confused, he turned his head to look at the aunt next to him who was also gossiping and said: "I really didn't expect the police to be able to dye such bells and whistles now, it looks unreliable, I think this piece is going to be broken!" ”

"Shhhh The aunt hurriedly put her index finger in front of her mouth and whispered a reminder that she didn't want to offend any big man just because she watched a gossip, and it would be worth the loss.

Fujiwara Yu was naturally not interested in eavesdropping on the conversation between the two with the power of the wind, and after he finished putting on his gloves, he saw Goro Otaki, who was standing in the living room, learning about the eucalyptus with two reporters.

It turned out that the case they were going to investigate was a missing girl, but after an investigation, the Suminoe Police Station believed that the missing person had run away from home because of family conflicts, and did not think that it was linked to the criminal case, so they planned to close the case.

But the parents of the missing person did not agree with this result, so they transferred to the Osaka Prefecture Police Headquarters through personal connections, and Goro Otaki, who had just finished his vacation, naturally became the best candidate as an experienced criminal policeman, and Fujiwara Yu, who had just been employed for less than ten minutes, was even more unlucky to arrive home, and directly turned on the light-speed mode.

"Why do you think that the missing Chiyo Tokui didn't run away from home because of family ties or school conflicts? Can you tell us a little bit about Chiyo's character? Otaki Goro asked out loud.

As the father of the child, Seiji Tokui's eyes were full of red blood from lack of sleep, he repeatedly pinched the cigarette case in his hand, and gradually became emotional when he mentioned his baby daughter: "Chiyo is a very well-behaved child, obedient and sensible since he was a child, although his personality is a little introverted, but the popularity in the class is still very good, otherwise she would not have received so many gifts from classmates on her birthday last month." And our family has always been very harmonious, and she hasn't shown any abnormalities recently, how could such a Chiyo run away from home? This does not fit the characteristics of running away from home, but it does not rule out the possibility that Chiyo Tokui, who is only 14 years old, tried to run away from home out of rebellious psychology, but this probability is relatively small, and he prefers to be kidnapped and taken away from the scene of the eucalyptus.

Can you briefly describe the exact time of disappearance? For example, when Chiyo may be at home? ”

"My wife and I went to the college reunion last night and didn't go to the cram school to pick up Chiyo from school. The cram school ends at 19 o'clock, and you can take the subway back from there in half an hour at the latest, and my neighbor, Mr. Morita, saw Chiyo coming home at 19:35, so I think the time of disappearance should be between 19:35 and 21:12 when we got home. As soon as Seiji Tokui's voice fell, Taeko Tokui, the mother of the child standing on the side, couldn't hold back her sad emotions and sobbed softly, and her mouth was still repeating words of self-blame, which could be seen that she was really sad, and her voice was already hoarse.

After hearing this information, Goro Otaki was basically able to determine the time period of eucalyptus, so the next thing was to find a way to find useful evidence at the scene.

If the kidnapper had been caught from the room, there would have been some traces left behind, and this parlor might be the scene of the first scene.

He looked at Sousuke Takaji, who was squatting next to the coffee table, and thought that the other party was the elite of the professional group, so he immediately asked, "Takaji, how is it?" Did you find any useful clues? ”

"Yes, I just found something like this under the coffee table." Fujiwara Yu stepped forward to show the TV remote control that had been put into the evidence bag by himself, and he noticed Officer Otaki's puzzlement, so he took the initiative to explain: "The remote control of the TV cannot appear at the bottom of the coffee table for no reason, from what the parents of the missing person just said, it can be seen that they have been in a state of anxiety and grief, they found that the TV was on and did not see the remote control, the first time was definitely not to look for it but to press the switch on the TV in a more direct way." ”

"What does that mean?"

"Chiyo Tokui should have been kidnapped while watching TV, and if it was an acquaintance, there should have been a better way, such as mixing sleeping pills in a drink, but judging from the traces at the scene, it is more like the victim was taken directly by the kidnapper without realizing it." Otaki Goro was a little foggy when he heard it, why could he judge that it was not an acquaintance based on these two points?

He touched the back of his head and didn't despise the other party because he was a junior, and directly put on an attitude of humbly asking for advice: "Eagle Division, these two points should not directly rule out the possibility of acquaintances as eucalyptus, right?" You must know that Chiyo is an introverted and well-behaved child, and there is no trace of prying at the door, so it is impossible for her to invite strangers into the house while she is alone at home, right? ”

"What if the offender did not enter through the entrance? I just walked around the door and found a flaw in the design of the flower bed in the backyard, but my suspicion was not established until there was no evidence to confirm it. Fujiwara Yusaki explained, not showing a proud expression, he just wanted to find the missing person as soon as possible, maybe there was still a chance of survival.

Seeing that Sosuke Takaji was walking out quickly, Otaki Goro didn't follow, he walked up to Tokui's parents and wanted to verify Takaji's reasoning, and asked bluntly: "Mr. Tokui, Ms. Tokui, I have a question for you, may I ask you what was the state of the TV after entering the eucalyptus scene at that time, and was it on?" ”

"That's right, Chiyo's favorite "Sailor Moon" is still playing on the TV, and when I called the police, I turned it off because it was too loud, is there something wrong? Shouldn't I close it? Tokugawa Taeko was afraid that her actions would affect her, so she excitedly grabbed Officer Otaki's wrist and asked.

The TV at the scene of the eucalyptus scene is really turned on, is it really the same as what Sosuke Takaji thinks?

After Otaki Goro broke free, he hurriedly asked: "Ms. Tokugawa, calm down, I'm just asking normally." So I want to ask one more question, how did you turn off the TV at that time? ”

"At that time, I didn't see the remote control and turned it off directly on the TV, is this related to eucalyptus?" After hearing that the eucalyptus was exactly the same as what Sosuke Takaji thought, Goro Otaki didn't care about the explanation, and immediately walked in the direction where Takaji left, but as soon as he ran to the backyard, he saw the picture of someone easily climbing to the balcony on the second floor.

This movement is so proficient that it ...... It's like this guy does it a lot.
